    At that time, Heiligenstadt still belonged to the Electorate of Mainz. The Elector stayed here and this small monument was erected out of gratitude

    Hiking

    The pyramid-shaped colored sandstone monument commemorates the Elector of Mainz and Archbishop Friedrich Karl Josef von Erthal (1719 - 1802). In good weather you can see the Ohm Mountains and parts of the Harz on the horizon.

    A direct descent to the “Iberghaus” is possible on the steep path (approx. 300 m, some with steps).

    The sandstone obelisk can be seen from afar.
    It offers a narrow view of Heiligenstadt.
